WITH this issue the present board of editors
of the FREE LANCE step aside to make
way for the newly elected staff. Wheth
er or not our efforts, during the past year, have
been successful we must leave entirely to the stu
dents to judge. We have been ably assisted,
though, in' those efforts by a number of the ' pro
fessors and students, and we desire to thank those
persons for the hearty interest, in the welfare of
the paper, which they have shown. During the
latter part of our term of office there has been a

marked increase in the number of contributions re
ceived from persons not on the staff. Long may
this continue. We hope that the incoming staff will
have the same hearty support by the faculty and the
students that it was our good fortune to receive, and
that their endeavors will be attended with success.'
SAID an alumnus of our college, in an address
before the students during the Fresent term,
"What awakens more enthusiasm in an old
college man than to watch a game of foot-ball be
tween his own and another institution and to know
that his college is ahead ?" Nothing, surely. The
fact that so many old students of P. S. C. attend
ed the games, which our foot ball team played
away from home last year, was one of the pleasant
est features of the past season's games. Wherever
the eleven played there was a little knot of en
thusiastic supporters to cheer and encourage them.
Nothing so much awakens the vim of the players
as this, for they feel that there is a body of their
friends anxiously watching their every movement,
cheering every good play and silently bemoaning
every poor one. During the coming spring our
base-ball nine will doubtless play at a number of
places away from State College and here again
will be an excellent opportunity for the old stu
dents of P. S. C. to show their colors as heartily
as they did last fall.
THE catalogue for '9l and '92 has been pub
lished, and appears this year in a neater and
more compact• form than ever before. A
number of changes have been made in the general
arrangements and a few in the college curriculum,
noticeable among which is the new course in
Physics and Electrical Engineering. OWing to
the fact that in order to have a thorough knowl-
